Description

After a decade living in Argentina, a return to the UK, has given Gran Asador David Deadman the opportunity to enthuse others with the latin passion for perfectly slow cooked meat.

The complete antithesis to American BBQ, asado's are all about letting the meat and veg speak for themselves. No spices or rubs are added. The fire does the work. Very slow roasting over hardwood embers creates the most succulent and flavourful whole BBQ 8 hour lamb you will ever taste. Whole fish, sides of beef or chickens all equally benefit from grilling slowly over the embers.

Unique equipment is used, the same as you would see on the Pampas used by the Gauchos after a long day of herding cattle. Asador Criollos are used for ribs, an Asador a la Cruz takes a whole lamb and the angled steel of the horizontal parrilla BBQ cooks the fish and veg without allowing the fat to drip on the fire.

This intimate course (Max 12) is not just about the food but offers an insight into the history, language, countryside and lifestyle of Argentina where food is all about sharing time with family and friends. After a day of immersion each student can invite up to 3 guests to join us to enjoy the sit down feast. A bottle of Malbec Red Wine will be provided for each student.

The day is designed to give you all the knowledge needed to truly immerse yourself in Authentic Asado Cookery.
